The best day out! - My husband and I booked the Tapas Tour with Cathy. What an amazing afternoon we had! We’ve had a holiday home here for a while, but never really experienced the more authentic places to eat tapas as it can be a bit daunting if you’re not quite sure how or what to order. But Cathy has changed all that; we started off at the indoor market where we learned about all the local produce. We sampled some freshly cooked red prawns from Garrucha, amazing toasted almonds, several different types of frittata and some beautiful olive oils. We then walked through the city with Cathy giving a very informative talk along the way. We visited several tapas bars where Cathy suggested which plates to order with our drinks. Again, this was so helpful as the menus can be a bit overwhelming. One of the bars was the oldest in Almeria, and was absolutely packed with people spilling out onto the street. The atmosphere was incredible. Honestly, we would not have had the courage to go inside or know what to order if we’d have been on our own. Cathy explained everything and quickly got us drinks and a wonderful selection of food. It was so nice to be there, mingling with the Spanish crowd and taking in the culture. Our final stop was another fabulous bar, where we had some lovely local wine and beautifully presented tapas. It felt like we were out with friends we had known for ages as our group was small, I think she only takes a maximum of 6 people on each tour, so it felt relaxed and friendly the whole time. I really wish we had done this tour sooner, it’s opened our eyes to the real Spain and given us confidence to try new places and we will definitely return to this wonderful city. Thank you so much Cathy, we really had the most wonderful day with you!

Fantastic Tour - What a wonderful day we had! We thoroughly enjoyed walking around Almeria with our guide Cathy who told us lots of interesting stories about the area. We visited many places to sample the local food and drink, there was so much variety, it was hard to choose a favourite because everything was delicious. Cathy is a fantastic guide, she is so enthusiastic which made the tour a really fun experience. She was also so helpful about local information eg transport from the train station. Highly recommended.

Enjoyable tapas tour. - My wife and I had a fun tapas tour with Kathy. She was very knowledgeable regarding the culture of tapas and she is fluent in Spanish. We ate some wonderful food, visited interesting bars and generally had a great time. Kathy gave us more confidence in enjoying tapas and my wife and I returned to a couple of the bars later in the week. Highly recommended.

A MUST DO experience in Almeria - Cathy gave us a real Almeria experience. She was lovely and the Tapas tour was amazing. We started of with a Olive oil tasting at the Central Market and then visited several amazing tapas bars in the old town, including the oldest bar in Almeria. The hospitality, the kindness, the knowledge and simply the fantastic person Cathy is made this a truly extraordinary experience. Even if we went to only one tapas bar we would go again just to have fun with Cathy.

Amazing tour with a superb guide - Cathy was excellent throughout the tour. She is good fun, very knowledgeable about Almería and chose some great venues and amazing food and drink! Places I doubt I would have found myself, so Secrets of Almeria is an apt title for the tour. I cannot recommend this tour ( and Cathy) highly enough.
